  Scispot is a cloud-native laboratory data platform and operating system for
  modern life science labs. It provides an API-first architecture combining
  Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) and Laboratory Information Management System
  (LIMS) capabilities with over 250 pre-built instrument connectors and 7,000+
  application integrations via its GLUE layer. Labs use Scispot to centralize
  and activate their data, automate experiment workflows, manage samples,
  sequences, and chemical structures programmatically, and integrate with
  clinical data standards including HL7 FHIR, HL7 v2, and ASTM protocols.

    description: >-
      The Scispot REST API provides programmatic access to all laboratory data
      management features including Labsheets (LIMS), Electronic Lab Notebooks
      (ELN), Manifests (plates, boxes, racks), and Sequences. Authenticated via
      personal API tokens, the API supports creating, reading, updating, and
      searching lab records, samples, barcodes, experimental results, and
      biological sequences. The API follows a flat, consistent schema designed
      for computational biology and dry-lab automation.
